The Love Journey

1 Corinthians 13

Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. ² And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. ³ And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profits me nothing. ⁴ Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; ⁵ does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; ⁶ does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; ⁷ bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

⁸ Love never fails. But whether there are prophecies, they will fail; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will vanish away. ⁹ For we know in part and we prophesy in part. ¹⁰ But when that which is perfect has come, then that which is in part will be done away.

¹¹ When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things. ¹² For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known. ¹³ And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.

Owe no one anything but love, for he who loves has fulfilled the law.  (Romans 13:8) Though I speak with the tongue of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass 1 Corinthians 13:1 says.  It is our words fused with love that brings our inheritance into focus and then into existence.  God tests and tries our hearts and minds in what their intentions are.  Our words determine if we are trying to grow closer to God in search of His love and inheritance which He has stored up for His children who truly love him.  All the game we may think we have, that may get over on the man in this world cannot get over on God.  His breath has been blown into every living creature.  So when we speak to Him He knows from what part of the heart it comes.  God speaks in verse 3 if we have not love, we are nothing.  From verses 4-7 we are told how sincere love is to operate.  This is the only way to unlock the bible and receive the keys to Father God’s heart.  Then sit down, lay down, and converse with the Man that wants to give us back the keys to His kingdom.  We must turn ourselves into love machines, love dripping and pouring out of our very being to swing our universe back into action.  Love conquers all barriers to what we want on this planet.  It opens the heavens to rain down the blessings that you need to embark upon the journey into God’s heart.  We can’t love as much the way Father God loves us.  He’s there at every turn and corner we try to make to get deeper into His heart.  He’s already planted Himself in ours.  God asks us to grow up and put away our childish ways and selfish behaviors.  We don’t run anything but ourselves.  So we are to program ourselves into selfless beings so God can use us.  We’re in a war between Father and satan, chess pieces, I apologize brothers and sisters for a lack of a better word.  However, God loves us, we His chess vessels so much that He gave us a bible so we could help Him win and see us into our inheritance, winner take all.  We are to outplay and outperform satan at all costs.  Real true sincere love throws him off his game.  Learn the love journey and embark upon God’s heart where there’ll be no turning back.  Love.

Blessings all as we mount up in love to win God’s heart,
